Abstract: The physical implications of the form and nature of the van der Waals equation of state are explained. The relation of this equation to so-‐‐called van der Waals forces and radii is discussed. The conclusion is drawn that the van der Waals equation of state is practically worthless and its use should be abandoned. *** Resumen Se explican las implicaciones fisicas de la forma y la naturaleza de la ecuacion de estado de van der Waals. Ademas, se discute la relacion entre esta ecuacion y las llamadas fuerzas y radios van der Waals. Se llega a la conclusion de que la ecuacion de estado de van der Waals no es util y que no deberia utilizarse.
